    Hi jfroth,

    The naming convention is acquired from the Windows operating system (which, incidentally, is slightly more explicit under Windows 7 vs XP) and is essentially intended to name the base time-zone followed by the location. The location effectively determines whether daylight savings applies or not. London, for example, does have daylight savings although technically in the GMT timezone. When selecting a timezone, think in terms of “What location should my time-stamps be adjusted to?”

    For your purposes, you are looking to select the location that does not apply any daylight savings time which is “GMT – Monrovia, Reykjavik”. Under Windows 7, it is simply “UTC – Universal Coordinated Time”. Note that the “pure” UTC/GMT time is selected by default whenever you export.

    There is more information in the original thread you posted on this topic (http://www.tickstory.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=23&sid=ab7c03336f2c4ff8f474a9199f97cccb) and also in the manual under the topic of “Time-zones”.

    Hope this helps.
